St. Thomas Aquinas was one of the most brilliant human beings ever. He wrote with clarity and depth about our Catholic Faith, and we are beginning to see a rediscovery of his works among young adult Catholics.

Ambrose Little, OP, who runs the popular Youtube series Aquinas 101!

Fr. Joseph, Joe, and Matt sit down to discuss the why human formation is one of the most important parts of becoming a mature person. From developing virtue to having good manners, our human formation is the foundation upon which grace works. 

We all speak about others - both their gifts and their flaws. When our conversations turn to other people, does it become sinful? What is the difference between venting, asking for advice, and detraction?

How can we overcome this sin? Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss...how to have a discussion about others, without falling into sin!

This week on Restless, Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Matt continue their discussion on history from the perspective of God's story.
